<p>The end of the Cold War created a golden opportunity for reducing the defense burden and providing taxpayers with a ""Peace Dividend."" For the United States Air Force, this resulted over the past six years in drastic reductions: 23% in aircraft inventory, 30% in personnel, and 32% in the number of bases and other major installations. Well-known and long-serving aircraft, such as the A-7D/K, the B-52G, the F-4C/D/E, the F-111A/D, the FB-111A and the SR-71, have been withdrawn from active and reserve components, and some states, such as California, have lost nearly half of their Air Force bases.Illustrated with over 410 color photos, this new book provides a rich pictorial record of aircraft (including old and new markings) and units which no longer exist, and offers a visual chronicle of organizational changes between 1988-1995.</p>

Trilogy of Thought is actually a combination of three differentconcepts inherent in the human species: Intellect, Emotion, and Humor. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ The first selection appeals tothe logic and inquisitive nature in most humans and describes personal insightsinto The Truths of American Business.It explains the structure and foibles of business decisions. It contains thetruisms that many who have toiled under the banner of American business canrecognize. The second section portrays theexpressions of feelings and the search for TheMeaning of Life. This is a collection of poetry that covers the entirerange of human emotion. Unlike the freeform of modern verse, these poemsattempt to find not only the right words, but also those that rhyme.The final part contains whimsicalsayings that attempt to convey the often-misunderstood admonishments from ourwiser influences As My Pappy Used To Say and give soul to our heart and mind. Thesehumorous sayings often hide a deeper insight into human activity.While each of these couldpossibly stand on its own, it is only when viewed as a trinity that it trulyreflects a whole being; heart, mind, and soul as it is reflected in intellect,emotion, and humor.
